Batman: Under the Red Hood

Batman: Under the Red Hood

DC Comics has been cranking out a number of hit DVDs over the past few years, via the Warner Premiere line. Superman and Batman: Public Enemies, Wonder Woman, and the upcoming Justice League tale, just to name a few. Continuing out the calendar, they’ve began promoting another animated film, Batman: Under the Red Hood. Blu-Ray.com unveiled some previews for the Justice League DVD, which included lists and details on the upcoming “Red Hood” disc. There’s no solid info about the movie’s plot, just yet, but we have seen the Red Hood before in Cartoon Network’s “Batman: the Brave and the Bold”, and comic fans have known it as a mask for a number of characters, including the Joker and Robin. We’ll just have to wait to find out more with this movie!

Superman Batman: Public Enemies

Superman Batman: Public Enemies

In just a few days, on September 29th, Warner Home Video via Warner Premiere is going to make the latest DC Comics-based DVD available to the world, Superman Batman: Public Enemies. The two all-star characters were formerly paired up in Justice League: The New Frontier, but there’s no Green Lantern or Wonder Woman this time. Now, it’s just the two of them fighting for truth and justice in a Jeph Loeb inspired tale against a Lex Luthor gone mad. Or, madder, anyway. If you were a fan of Batman: The Animated Series or Superman: The Animated Series, you’ll also be happy to know that the original voice cast is back to reprise their roles. Check out a sneak peek at the animation below the break!

Cartoon Network worked on the film along with Warner Premiere, known for its production of DC Comics animated titles like Green Lantern First Flight, Wonder Woman, and Batman: Gotham Knight. The mixed live-action and CG animated movie explores the origins of how the Mystery Inc. gang of meddling kids (and their dog, Scooby-Doo, too) came together to solve their very first mystery.
